1. مِن تحت هَمْزةِ صُدْغِه ألِفٌ

    مِن عارِضَيْهِ تملكَّتْ رِقي

    An alif beneath the hamza of his temple-lock,

    formed from his cheek hair, has made me its slave.

  2. عابُوه في حَلْقٍ لها عَبَثاً

    مع أنَّها من أحْرُفِ الحَلْقِ

    They reproached him for shaving it, in vain,

    though it is one of the letters of the throat.
